something else here sees some other part of it and realized everything. is a big issue. dozens of civilians are reportedly killed in syria's come up with a government of the opposition playing each other the russian foreign minister exclusively speaks to r.t. tells us where moscow stands in the conflict. the british missing for months inexplicably turns up in a u.s. court on terror charges it's reappearances ignited suspicion is a victim of washington's rendition program. russia and india rubber stamp billions of dollars worth of military megadeals to the world's fastest growing countries of the global clout influence that's making

some in the west nervous. while some celebrate others struggle the spiraling costs of christmas leave british pensioners in a far from festive spirit as we report. how if you just joined us a very good evening to its kevin owen here at the new center tonight now top story syria's rebels say at least sixty people have been killed in a government airstrike on a bakery in the central hama province state run media has broadcast a denial instead accusing the opposition of the killings designed to smear the authorities they say just as the international peace envoy visits damascus provinces witnessed intense fighting in the past few days meanwhile russia's foreign ministers rebel. off speculation that moscow is looking to get asylum the

president the sad and the russians shielding his government so get over australia exclusively to us and say we got more from our correspondent he got his call. russia's foreign minister once again stressed that there could only be a diplomatic solution to this conflict adding that moscow is not taking sides and has condemned the syrian authorities for using disproportionate force the security forces clearly we're. prepared to face the public. protests and protests in this city is and in the villages they have been through you know to counter foreign aggression not to keep law and order a civilized manner however the minister also said that this doesn't rule out the fact that the rebels continue provoking syrian authorities and he criticized the west for failing to condemn the actions of some groups within the syrian opposition

who sometimes go to the most extreme measures like taking hostages or even terrorism it's absolutely unacceptable if. the west would stop would begin to. qualify terrorist as. bad terrorist and acceptable terrorists will also ask the minister why you think nato was so eager to deploy the six batteries the interceptor missiles on turkey's border with syria and whether iran could be the actual target here's what he said that's what some people say. the configuration as it is being presented in the media. really looks like it could be used against iran and other vital issue concerning syria's its stockpile of chemical weapons going to russia keep diplomatic or outside players seem to acknowledge that it's the responsibility of syrian authorities to keep it safe and that it would be unacceptable if the rebels got their hands on it but then it makes very little sense of why some states in the

west continue persuading the rebels to continue fighting by giving the moral political and financial support. well i will be bringing you more loads of rob's exclusive interview you gave us later on tonight it's also available to everyone to see it online from acidity dot com. almost three billion dollars of defense megadeals have been signed between russia and india today president putin's on a visit to new delhi cementing ties with fast growing economies as they continue to try and boost the global influence of his roof financial reports now on how the improve world sterling is worrying some in the west russia and india have signed around three billion dollar worth of military contracts today and many experts have already said that that is very important and that is very symbolic why this theme is that today it is number one one point importer in the world and russian made equipment accounts for more than seventy percent of the indian military supplies

but recently india has signed many contracts with you guys and israel and some have started saying that russia is losing its role its position in this particular region region and especially on the indian military market with all these contracts signed today we can say that's not the case and cooperation is still very high and russia and india remain very close allies this group reeks of five probably say speak in countries like america quite nervous because they have their own interests in this particular region especially defense interests both in their military presence in the backyard of china and by this visit by this gathering today here in india the role the increasing role in importance of this group of experts say actually is able to counterbalance the western dominance in the world has been stressed and outlined again and again. to political analysts women girl says the

world's fast growing economies have many more reasons for partnership than rivalry these. i think we will see out of necessity a cause or drawing together of russia and china simply because the challenges from the ballistic missile defense and solutions of the u.s. both against china and against russia last year. mean that they're both early in the in the firing line of potential nuclear conflict with the united states and nato and that's no joke and that there's a here a trigger for war by mistake accumulation the reasons for or for action are much stronger at this point than the reasons for conflict india is in kind of a but you your position and it's. a long list potential for economic growth and norma's problems of backwardness the caste system and so forth that the interest that if we compared was say china or russia but the potentials are there i think the synergies are there for the cooperation between china russia and india and

we've more on what russia is selling to india through the defense tales not business bulletin coming up at six thirty pm g.m.t. tonight. in britain this christmas there's a bleak choice sadly for many elderly people skyrocketing household builds and curbed pensions mean some of being forced to choose between eating and heating as artie's poly boy could discover. you better watch out you're better not santa claus is coming to town and the shops are ready for that annual customer onslaught eighty two year old lady isn't in the festive spirit she's worried that she can't afford to be anything other than a scrooge this christmas. and let her and her family ever not. make it ethical now regularly a bailiff. there's electric there's

a there's a water i. thought that or does things all got come out of the a pension person here inside of you bob then yeah and off the most energy from psych prices is the winter months set in livy and people like her face a cold or dark a festive season according to south to buy a new boiler plate on in the bedroom is still in the eight into a well known bedroom. so now they all know if there's a big bill now that sounds like a rose or something and i thought that but not managed to carve it. that is a while right yeah yeah more and more britons are turning off their heating in the run up to a costly christmas and they're using these hot water bottles instead but according to hospital the money saving trend comes in the high price of its own with scoring

numbers of buttons and injuries it isn't just the cost of fuel christmas essential is will soon be worth their weight in gold the average price of turkey has risen seven percent since last year a family bird setting you back a whopping fifty five pounds on your christmas cards an average pack of twelve costs ten percent more this holiday and with printer ink now pricier than champagne you can forget about making your own to save money besides postage doesn't come cheap now at thirty percent more this christmas first class post in every sense of the term there's not a shop in the land that would risk missing out on a christmas promotion right now it's not you want to hire a doctor the best seventy is getting more and more commercial but as austerity great britain you what can she afford to take god we've talked to many families

about christmas time and it's something that they really struggle with a time when all the families are celebrating we've got rises in fuel prices we've got rises in food prices in the benefits and the support mechanisms that people have got. that they've got is all being cut back it's going to be really really tough for people this christmas pensioner lady isn't just worried about the plight of the elderly she knows she's far from alone and counting down to a down costs december twenty fifth you know where they've been going out but their wages that are now and people without. a lot of people are. no benefit. and with the bank of england's less than glad tidings of a triple dip recession on the cards struggling britons will be wishing for nothing short of a christmas miracle. see london. the u.k.

is looking to beef up its military presence in the gulf on the way then so we got expert opinion on what might be behind the strength think its defense ties with the region's royals plus it's all downhill it out sees weekly sports shows next to her in the italian alps in fact to join. the festival that stuff. as well for me just a few minutes after the show. what do you see when you look at the scroll perhaps you wonder what bright future she'll have or maybe you feel sympathy for her because you see she's in a wheelchair but if you're t.s.a. agent then you see hard core terrorists. finding a small amount of residue from explosives on the girl's hands she was detained for almost an hour and her tears for mercy did not move the inspectors to allow her

mother to be with her as they took her away for further inspection so the t.s.a. agents can put two and two together and realize that people in wheelchairs get all sorts of random stuff on their hands because the wheels they push roll along the ground when will these endless tales of bizarre instance of the t.s.a. stop when will they stop worrying about girls in wheelchairs one of the stop searching under a terminally ill woman's bandages and when will they actually catch a terrorist security feels a lot more like ridiculous tyranny to me but that's just my opinion. today. these are the.

giant corporations rule. well with. its technology innovation all the developments from around russia. the future covered. hello again this is our tina you may remember the story that are surely this year with a man who had his british citizenship revoked and then he disappeared in africa well

we can now say that he's reappeared we can tell you that well in a new york court that's where charged with terrorism offenses the unexplained emergence of muddy hashi in the u.s. adds weight to face that he may have been the victim of america's notorious rendition program let's get the update on the washington correspondent dan if you can either get it's alarming what i've read out there what more do we know about this. well kevin twenty three year old mahdi ha she has appeared before us federal court to face charges of terrorism how she was stripped of his british citizenship as you said earlier this summer over accusations of his involvement with islamist extremists at the time here and these family tried to contest that decision they claim that m i five threatened to label them islamic extremists if they refuse to become informants for british intelligence and spying on their muslim community complain to the investigative powers tribunals the body which oversees m i five you also spoke to the media but nothing really came out of

those efforts shortly after his citizenship was revoked he went missing in modish will somalia one of our reporters spoke with his parents several months ago when they had no idea where their son was and they were very worried about him apparently all this time he had been in u.s. custody he stands accused of providing. quote providing material support to somali militant al-shabaab an f.b.i. statement reveals that from december two thousand and eight to august two thousand and twelve she joined with two other men also on trial and a quote participated in weapons and explosives training or with members and associates of al shabab if convicted of all charges hard she will face a mandatory minimum sentence of thirty years and a maximum sentence of life in prison now as far as the other two men on trial here in the uighurs they were identified by the f.b.i. as ali yassin off might mohammad yousuf both allegedly hold swedish

passports so all of these men are not u.s. citizens and yet they ended up here and one of the questions that we're still expecting the prosecutors to answer is what these men's alleged activities had to do with the united states and this is not the only case in u.s. courts against alleged terrorists for. acts committed overseas and one of the things that many find alarming is how the u.s. finds smuggling foreign nationals in complete secrecy perfectly lawful often keeping the families of those captured in in the dark for months danny thanks for that update will become bloodshed later as and when more information on this comes through thanks for now we shaded. britain's governments under fire from human rights groups are planning to sell dozens of combat jets to united arab emirates as well as other gulf states the prospective deal seen as

a sign of support for a regime which the e.u. earlier slammed for human rights abuses and torture in addition to the jets prime minister david cameron said britain might station its troops in the u.a.e. after pulling out from afghanistan the u.k. is also trying to prolong its military presence in existing bases in bahrain and qatar to support a geo political analyst patrick harris and he says it's not hard to see britain's altieri motive here. the justification for this massive build up in the middle east especially in the gulf states and. the west is blaming iran saying that because iran's pursuing nuclear ambitions or there's no proof of any to the weapons programs as such they're blaming iran for a possible nuclear arms race in the region that's a quote from david cameron only days ago so you can circumvent overread it's certainly geo political skill number one priority and i think that they've achieved that you know militarily but you know the question is. is this going to be

a real military standoff are we looking at a cold war situation were we just posturing militarily geopolitically looking for some bigger conflict down the road perhaps in a few years the prospect of military confrontation with iran doesn't seem to be fading anytime soon than and one of two rounds closest allies is threatening to join the fray or to loose a calf and off went to lebanon to discover what the militant group hezbollah is going to put sleeve. a red line should be drawn right here the line beyond which lies war with iran that in yahoo would like to be able to communicate to the world that the israelis are ready which he has to attack and that it will be done with the full support of the united states threat or bluff whatever the case and the tap it all but guarantee our rapid response from another nemesis of the jewish state has moema. the lebanese shia paramilitary

group has evolved from a ragtag militia to a military and political heavyweight it's part of the so-called axis of resistance against israel referring to the as lions between hezbollah hamas syria and iran and according to hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah both israel and the united states would suffer a retaliation to any strike against tehran but. the response would not be limited to the israeli entity the u.s. military bases in the entire region will serve as targets. so if israel targets in iran even by itself that. america will be held accountable for this death. israel's november battle with gaza was seen as a test for a possible confrontation with iran israeli airstrikes rained on gaza in exchange came a barrage of long range mortars and rockets most were held by israel's anti-missile

shield the plunger fuck a rocket threat from gaza the war may have showcased newly acquired weapons by palestinian militant factions but hezbollah's arsenal is thought to be of higher quality and quantity and experts say that it could launch four times as many markets per day as hamas the details of hezbollah's stockpile are secret but the group's willingness to use it is not. only appear how israel was shaken by a few frogger five missiles which could be counted on the fingers of one's hand i want to be able to withstand the thousands of missiles that will land on television and else way if it attacks the flow. was israel and hezbollah came face to face was in two thousand and six since then. hizbullah has now it collated around forty five thousand missiles off various ranges. there is run of all part of the range goes beyond three hundred and well

it's three hundred fifty kilometers which according to them at least they can reach the whole of. the south of the country this museum in the south of lebanon is designed to display has been proclaimed military prowess captured israeli tanks and weapons are meant to be a reminder of the danger has blown compose. this is the only has the tunnel now open to visitors but a network of secret passageways just like this one stretches across lebanon they're used to move fighters and weapons across the country and showing that hezbollah stands ready to strike at a moment's notice lucy caffein of r t southern lebanon. well world news now an afghan police woman has shot dead a us security advisor at a police headquarters in kabul the female officer walked up to the victim as he left the shop in the heavily guarded compound firing out at once with a pistol she's now in custody it's thought to be the first time a woman has carried what are called green on blue insider attacks hours earlier a policeman shot five of his colleagues in northern afghanistan such killings have

the tips and tricks of holding a traditional russian ball the next hour for at least right after this break. flying north with me in this old soviet work or so the helicopter is doctors landed near brodsky and his team from the region's medical aviation service we head across ever more barren tundra higher and higher into russia's arctic far north until eventually we see our landing spot with arrive at this tiny village after crossing hundreds of kilometers of snow a world of us as a boy here suffering from fever and the doctors are going to see what they can do. inside

a small building not one but two babies and their parents are waiting for us the doctors inspect them but can't make a diagnosis and decide to bring them to a regional hospital for better care spread lana doesn't like taking her baby away from home but she's been before and agrees to go that's the usual practice with those who live in atlanta they keep mothers with their newborns in hospital for a month. on the way back another stop to check on the health of some native minarets reindeer herders out in the tundra it can take many hours to reach the nearest village so all medical problems simply fixed here in the tent that i wish they used to be but now we can go to civilized places so we call for emergency help . back at hospital other patients helped by the air ambulance are being treated the service costs fourteen million dollars a year to run and there's been controversy with some claiming that locals exaggerate or make up health problems and use the helicopters as

a free taxi service accusations that a man firmly dismisses your brother is not true usually the calls are perfectly justified sometimes we even reproach locals waiting too long before calling us he's been working as a doctor now for forty three years but vladimir is confident that even after he retires his helicopter doctors will remain a lifeline to the peoples of the russian far north. as well including. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
